In a matter of hours on Monday, Spaniard Victor Sanchez surpassed Ryan Giggs as the bookmakers' favourite to replace Dougie Freedman, who - in case you can remember that far back - was sacked by the club in March.

5b) Born in Madrid on 23 February 1976, Sanchez rose through the ranks at city giants Real and made his debut 20 years ago. He became league winner in his first full campaign.
